In addition to my intuitive practice, I am a traditionally published author writing under the pen name AJ Franks. My literary work explores the darker corners of the human experience, specializing in LGBTQ+ speculative fiction, sci-fi, and horror.
Book Summary
Jeff Pritchet isn't much different from other teenage boys, with one exception—his monstrous, spider-like appearance and loner persona make him a target for bullying, when all he wants is a friend who sees beyond the surface. When a thoughtful transfer student named Aarav Jain arrives, an untapped hope is sparked, transforming Jeff’s life. But as the boys grow closer, their deepening relationship becomes hijacked by an inescapable darkness and a life-altering secret Jeff can barely contain. Proving that when pushed too far, emotions can be deadlier than venom, this coming-of-age horror story explores the heavy boundaries of acceptance, reflection, and revenge.
